Indian liquefied natural gas (LNG) buyers are weighing plans to offset supplies from Qatar.

According to insiders, Petronet LNG Ltd. and Gail India Ltd., which have LNG procurement contracts with Qatar, are considering issuing tenders to procure cargoes.

According to vessel tracking data compiled by Bloomberg, Qatar is India's largest LNG supplier, accounting for nearly half of the South Asian country's imports last year. (Bloomberg)
